Product Notes

Welcome to the third & final installment of the Melancholy Trilogy, where lush, ethereal keyboards and heavy guitar provide the framework for a musical journey into the dangers of temptation and the power and pain of reflection. Striking a delicate balance between moody & melodic, orchestral & ominous instrumentals mix with somber & soulful vocals to create dark landscapes we dare not visit, yet sometimes design! You\'ll hear heavy mellotron choir & strings reminiscent of mid-70\'s period Genesis, as well as pastoral/aggressive arrangements with a nod to early Steve Hackett. Is imitation really the sincerest form of flattery?, or is it simply the springboard to one\'s own originality? Take a listen and decide for yourself! (Long live the mighty Mellotron!) Rich Casey - August 2008.
